JavaScript disabled property problem with FireFox

I am writing a simple javascript code that expriments how to enable, disable html elements using JavaScript code.
I am getting the code to work on IE but FireFox seems to ignore the code without error.
In FireFox I am getting the 'called' message box but the button is not being enabled/disabled as IE does when the second button is clicked.
See attached code.
